I've been after one of the lightweight Aluminium Racing Jacks for a long time.

For around the same price as the Clarke you can get a Sealey RJA1250. These look really good :drool:

The garage is starting to fill out nicely!

The kit is currently with the painter so will get that on and sorted for Dubshed. Will put up pictures of the car on the rfs later :)

Post by: chrisr763 on March 21, 2013, 11:00:52 pm: Always look foward to an update on this Carson, wish I had gone to UD to see it actually. I saw you have air on the way / fitted? I'm suprised your not sticking with static... although with you and the likes of Robert. I don't blame you, making the trip to the UK all the time for shows :wink: Keep it up. Looks real nice on the new wheels. Bet you cant wait to fit the bulk of stuff you have lying around!
